Yes. The sasauthd has to be running and set up properly to authenticate.
Mine is set up with MECH=shadow, so it uses the systems's shadow file to
check user/pass. In /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf
pwcheck_method:saslauthd is set.

Other configurations are possible. Just read the SASL docs on your
system if you want to use different methods.

Yes, it showes a failed LOGIN procedure.
